A man's life consists not in the abundance of things. The question is - how do you measure your life and how would Christ have us measure our lives? In the light of Scriptural truth, in this episode, we considered briefly the topic of covetousness, and Christ's warning his disciples to beware and guard against this vice that destroys many souls and have denied many of true joy in this world, and will deny many eternal life.

Daniel 5:27 - How will you live your life if you know an invisible hand notes your thoughts and actions? Every one of us will be subject to the weighing of God, where our actions on this side of eternity are weighed. We are called upon in this session to search ourselves, in the light of God's word, so that we do not come short on the day of visitation.

In this session, we examined the message of Christ to the Church in Philadelphia, focusing on Christ's declaration of open doors despite oppositions and challenges. Christ commended the church for keeping the faith, the word of His patience and not denying His name, despite their little strength. Believers are called to remain faithful and loyal to the Lord, men like Daniel, Joseph and the three Hebrews were, and we saw the open door God placed before them. We also see the fate of Judas, an example of disloyalty and double dealing, a warning to all.

In this session, we examined the message of Christ to the Church in Thyatira, focusing on their growing Christian virtue of charity, service, faith and patience, but had harbored that woman Jezebel to seduce God's people, Like many in Thyatira, a large number of growing believers are permissive in their choices of who/what they listen to, resulting in a growing blemish and contamination. Jesus had to encourage and warn that overcomers are the ones who will keep the words of God to the end and will be given power over the nations.

Pergamos, the third of the churches. Pergamos was described as a Church dwelling where Satan dwells. Some of the key questions and issues discussed in this episode include: what it means to dwell where Satan dwelling is, and how can believers live victoriously in such environment. Prayerfully listen, God bless yo.

Smyrna, the second of the churches. Smyrna was described as a Church in tribulations, poverty and blasphemy of false brethren, Christ Jesus encourages the church to continue till the end. This letter is a message of hope to every saint experiencing tribulation, poverty and prejudice, for Christ knows your state, He calls you rich though you lack the good of this world, He knows the blasphemy of false brethren around you, and He encourages you to continue, for your present and future persecutions is only but for a moment, and they all work a far more exceeding weight of glory.
